In Jo's Words:
Here is a quick and super fun craft activity to do with your little ones. It is suitable for any age, and can be made more challenging depending on the age of your child.
you will need;
Here goes
1. pinch the top of the toilet roll together, then gentle push down into a curved shape. It is self securing, but add tape or glue if you want to.
2. Let the kids lose with the paint. Allow to dry completely
3. Cut out some feather for the little ones, and some beaks ( not shown here, but I used yellow felt) and glue on.
4. Encourage your child to pick out their own buttons for the owl's eyes. My three year old enjoyed this the most. Add a big dollop of pva glue. Sit them out in the sun to dry.
My 5 year old and I made a few fabric covered toilet rolls, which added a whole new look. You could add sequines, and ribbons too. It's really up the the child.
Havre fun
